five quilts in three months...

and how awesome to win prizes for finishing stuff i should have finished months ago.

first on my list...

swoon for miss s....

her birthday is thursday... i hope it will be finished...

i see a late night in store for me tonight and tomorrow night.

only one block to finish although i think i will make a couple more. i didn't think too clearly about the vision of this quilt when i started. i knew i wanted to use the fabrics from her crib bedding but didn't plan the blocks before.

they are heavy on the green/blue...

i want options. and options means sewing into the late night tonight.

i am ok with it. i get more done when my family sleeps.

second... my dream on quilt top.

i love the bright cheeryness of this quilt. it needs to be finished.

i need to piece my backing, baste it, and quilt the crap out of it.

i still don't know for sure how it will be quilted but i think i will do 1/4 inch off every seam.

and lastly...

fly girl!

the top is done. the back is done.

she needs basted and then i see random lines in her future!

three finished quilts... i think that may be doable since they are already almost all finished...

i have to say that it is my plan to start and finish two additional quilts during this time...

it is my goal to finish a quilt a month this year. i have five planned finishes for the first three months.

wish me luck!

nicke.

p.s. the holidays were really busy and i am endlessly behind with my google reader. i hope to be caught up with you all soon. xoxo

Whoa, you're taking 2012 by the horns! I can't wait to see them all finished!! I love all three of them. I just ordered some fabric to start of my first quilt of the year too. Hope it doesn't take me four months again :/

Wow, you are so close to having 3 more fabulous quilts! I am just trying to talk myself into starting a quilt. It's not going so well. I really like your goal of 1 a month. I think that's a great pace for me too!
